how to present a toast when a widget is clicked?


I need to do a simple widget that presents a Toast when clicking on it. My problem is that I cant find how to get or create an "oncreate" action. i see the examples with the pending intent that opens the web browser. But how do i simply create this: Toast.makeText(context, "activated", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); and make it happen every time a user clicks on the widget? just to be clear, I mean a widget on the launcher of the phone. not a regular "button" widget etc...

public class Widget extends AppWidgetProvider {
NotificationManager mNotificationManager;
Notification notification;

@Override
public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager, int[] appWidgetIds) {
    super.onUpdate(context, appWidgetManager, appWidgetIds);



    appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(appWidgetIds, view);
}

}

Thanks!


Solution

  • Just call Toast.makeText(context, "activated", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); in widget's onClick() method of View.OnClickListener

    Update:

    If you use AppWidgetProvider so check this and this one posts
